Geronimo's Story of his Life

Description: Geronimo's Story of his Life Geronimo's Story of his Life By Geronimo. Translated by Asa Deklugie, Transcribed by S. M. Barrett Geronimo. No word or image better symbolizes the fierce, fearless nature of the Native American warrior than Geronimo. “Geronimo” is traditionally shouted by paratroopers when they jump out of airplanes to express their fearlessness. The code name “Geronimo” was used by United States military for its operation to kill Osama bin Laden in 2011, probably in honor of the many devastating raids carried out by Geronimo and his warriors in the 1800's. There is a persistent rumor, probably a hoax, that members of the secret Skull and Bones society at Yale University, including Prescott Bush, filched the skull of Geronimo from its grave at Fort Sill and that it is held in a glass case in the society's building in New Haven. The character has inspired four films and has been featured in countless western novels and television and radio shows, often fictionalized to suit the narrative context. Given the large place he occupies in the public mind, it is fascinating to hear the story of his life in his own words, which are recounted here in Geronimo’s Story of His Life, an oral history dictated by Geronimo to S. M. Barrett, the Superintendent of Education in Lawton, Oklahoma, who wrote down the story as it was told and translated by Asa Deklugie, son of Nedni chief Whoa.
